Same. I lost 50 Lbs in 2 years eating like this.
I started doing kettle bells and increased my protien intake because I want to gain weight now.(muscle mass)
Discussion
Nice! I need to start focusing on upper body, I have been focusing exclusively on my leg
I need to focus on both. I've always liked cardio, but never got into weight lifting. I need to change that.
Fun fact: cardio doesn’t actually help you lose weight in the long term. Our bodies adapt to how much energy we burn and tries to preserve calories when we burn more doing physical activities. So if you run 2 miles every day, your body will try to maintain its normal baseline weight by reducing calorie expenditure in other parts of your day (e.g. thinking). This is why people tend to gravitate back to a specific number on the scale regardless of whether they gained or lost weight. Your body wants to stay there. The only way I’m aware of to change that baseline number is through diet changes or muscle growth.
I know this now, but didn't know this when I ran marathons. 🫤
You workout at a gym or at home?
I walk to the park and do pull ups and push ups.
If you don’t have a gym membership, this is a very simple way to get a good leg workout in. I recommend that you use a timer and record how long you squat and how much weight you are squatting. Then aim to increase the time and weight to make sure you’re getting stronger each week.
Haha thats my main issue 😅 Fucking weight gain 🥹
Yo guys kinda motivating me with these mindsets!
Need to start working out allready…
If nostr:npub12r0yjt8723ey2r035qtklhmdj90f0j6an7xnan8005jl7z5gw80qat9qrx can, I can do it too 👾
(for Americans its 131,20 lbs)
Could I do 200lbs in muscle mass? Btw I’m arround 180cm(5'11")
That’s gonna take like 2 years. Possible but you need to lock in.
Wow, didn’t expected that much.
Would you suggest using some weights?
I’m more thinking of nature calisthenics than gyms. So probably that will took more then 2years :/
Look up home workouts on YouTube from Drew Baye and Jay Vincent. High intensity training is the best form of training I have found over the years. Do a leg, chest, shoulder, and back workout each week to failure. Those guys will explain how to do that. If you like reading then check out body by science written by Dr. Doug McGuff.
Bookmarked your note. Thanks for suggesting 🤜🏼🤛🏻
